" Kentucky has signed a regulation permitting public, state-funded colleges to show training courses on the Holy bible.

Guv Matt Bevin participated in the bill signing event in the state capitol which opened with a Christian prayer.

State Rep DJ Johnson said the Scriptures "actually did set the foundation that our beginning fathers made use of to create documents like the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Costs of Rights," regional news station WDRB-TV reported.

The class would certainly be an elective, not a need for pupils and also each neighborhood college board has the option to supply the course or not." *.

Youthful Turk (n), 1. Young progressive or anarchical member of an institution, activity, or political party. 2. A young person who rebels versus authority or societal expectations.( American Heritage Dictionary).

Jake Chafin it’s a waste of time. They could be learning finances and how to pay taxes. At least this bible class is an elective. LGBT history has no point. What’s the point in learning DaVinci was gay. The worst thing is that it’s a requirement.

Saltvadoor Why learn about the Holocaust? Can we use that imformation for anything? Why learn about the dealings of ancient civilizations, or the works of shakespeare, or the chemical composition of stars?? When will most students find a point in that information. It’s about creating openminded and well-rounded individuals who know about the world around them and it’s history. and a significant chunk of that history involves the systematic oppression of Homosexuals and transgendered people. And in the same vein, whats the “point” of your lovely little bible study class?

Thomas Lawrence I’m pretty sure the left would be surprised but just as up in arms. I don’t think that TYT only has beef with Christianity, they denounce Sharia Law all the time and Jenk, who was raised Muslim, is no longer Muslin and hasnt been for decades because he disagrees with the faith.

No they wouldn’t be Robyne. The left has this islamphilia going on. TYT only beefs w/Chrsitianity. 99% of the stories are negative towards Christians and portrays Islam positively and Muslims as victims.

Thomas Lawrence you do know Christians make up like 75-80% of the population. while we aren’t even 5%. Even the LGBT community has more people living in the United States then us Muslims. how could we propagate an agenda to the dominant 200+ million who don’t belive in our faith?

Because many out there need a threat of damnation over them to do right by others. They fear death and need religion to tell them they will live on forever for the low cost of a donation every week. They need reassurance they they can “sin” against others and merely go to prey for forgiveness to reset their sin meters.

Religion came in existence because we didn’t know anything about anything and had to explain what was happening so we created mythical beings for the reason why things were happening. Sunrise and sunset were attributed to the gods instead of planetary rotation that we know today through science. Lightning was attributed to the gods as well as fire.

Black Rapper Travis Scott was arrested last night for shooting 25 other Black people at his Concert in Arkansas , I been watching the live video and I am sure it must be fake because Black people just don’t go around shooting other black people .

could you all just imagine if it was a White boy shooting up 25 Black people at a Rap Concert,it be all over the news and they be talking about calling in Black Lives Matters and then they all be rioting in the street steeling and Looting for new Computers !

Lucky for Travis Scott that Black people cannot shoot very well with a gun, after Travis shot 25 of his fans at point bland range all of them survived , I will say this again , guns don’t belong in a Black pair of hands.

undrtakr900 ,thanks for reporting them Racist, we all know that video of Rap-Star Travis Scott must be a fake, we Black people we never go around shooting up other black people , let’s hope Travis Scott gets a all Black Jury so he will be the Rap LOL 🙂

+A Visitor Ah but you forget, child brides were a thing upto the 1900s and are also practiced by some denominations of Mormons. Than of course there were the witch burnings, lynchings, forced conversions…

This is horrible, if you going to teach the Bible you have to teach Islam,Hinduism, Buddhism,and while your at it teach skepticism so you have a few atheist in the bunch separation between church in state is essential and I’m sorry but whatever religion you are our tax money going to public schools were the Bible is taught is a clear violation of that. How bout instead we bring back trade classes like shop class ? Cooking class? Now that would be great I’m 26 and most my friends can’t cook.Oh I know its silly, if we did that there would be no need for trade schools…maybe we should have a political course that is mandatory debate real world issues with facts…alternative facts would be a thing of the past a well informed electorate

Jason Clark Kentucky is a dumbass red state with a shitty education. the politicians are fools who dont five a f*ck about the people. If they did they would teach trade classes. Dumasses would rather save kids from the rapture instead of set them up for future prosperity.

Lasombra The reason that I’ve heard is that by teaching other religions, the school is brainwashing children into following other religions other than Christianity. Basically, if they can’t brainwash children with their own religion (Christianity) then no one can teach other religions. They want to have a monopoly on religion.

TYT is anti-christain. And so far there have been three U.S. Mass Shooters who were tyt fans / subscribers who were muslim. I don’t know if the 4th fan/subscriber mass shooter was muslim. TYT anti-american.

Fatnorth759 You freaking people amaze me. You have all the information in the world at your fingertips yet you’re dumb as a stump. In fact 29 of the 56 signers of the Decleration held what would be considered seminary degrees today and many others were outspoken about their Christianity. Even Ben Franklin, who is considered to be one of the least religious of the framers requested that the Constitutional Convention pray before each session. I’m done with you people, keep living in your echo chamber.

phil c. doesn’t matter still unconstitutional under the establishment clause. even if they has seminary degrees they didn’t want religion in government. all it takes is one Kentucky tax payer to sue, and it’ll be unconstitutional by the supreme court.

phil c. I only said the 5 founding fathers weren’t that religious as some would think. I don’t doubt they said that nor to I care about American history that much being Canadian. America was founded on many values one of which in the Constitution was a separation of church of state which is being violated with what is happening.

Andrew Smith the only problem with that is that the Bible is a belief to many of the students in the classroom. Therefore, if you treat is as a myth like the odyssey you are insulting their beliefs and preaching Atheism which is also against the constitution.

Two completely different things. Yes we have separation of Church and State. Freedom of Religion. but remember, this country was founded, and our constitution based on the bibles core message. We are to be tolerant, love and respect each other. Family values are important. Just what makes that insane? Islam/Sharia Law is incompatible with our constitution and can not co-exist because they directly oppose each other. Sharia Law has no tolerance LGBT, or those who refuse to see things thier way and calls for death. As well as womens rights issues. Too many believe what they are told, without question or simply do not understand the full meaning of Sharia Law.. Read for yourselves. Open your eyes to truth.

Animate Reality last time I checked Christians weren’t so friendly with the LGBT community either. Also maybe YOU should open your eyes to the fact that the two religions are basically the same thing with different names. Everything that you mentioned about the core messages of the BiBle are also found in the Quran.

There goes the foundation of public education. Either it sticks with teaching no religions, which respects all, or it teaches ALL religions.
Religions belong in churches, mosques, synagogues, temples etc. They do not belong in secular public schools.
